Pitched Roofs
A pitched roof is one that inclines downward, usually in two sections that meet at a central ridge or in a single section extending from one edge to the other. The pitch of a roof refers to its steepness and is determined by dividing its vertical rise by its horizontal span.

Pitched roofs are still the most popular choice for both homes and public buildings. This is because they shed water better than other roof shapes, making them the most efficient.
Provide a classic ambiance
Pitched roofs blend well with traditional aesthetics, making them a popular choice for extending a property. They provide a smoother transition than flat roof extensions and are more likely to gain planning permission approval when consistent with the surrounding architecture. Which benefits home owners and neighbouring properties.
Add light with pitched roof skylights
Homeowners are attracted to rooflight extensions for the abundance of natural daylight they bring into their property. Pitched roof extensions with skylights are particularly effective at maximizing the amount of light that enters the home due to the angled pitch of the roof, resulting in a significant enhancement of the interior ambiance.
More energy saving
Pitched roof extensions offer energy efficiency due to the materials and natural sunlight they provide, resulting in superior insulation and heat preservation compared to other roof types. To ensure energy efficiency, it is crucial to consider the u-values of the chosen rooflight. With their energy efficiency, pitched roof extensions are an excellent option for homeowners who want to reduce their energy bills and carbon footprint while also improving the look and feel of their homes.
More headroom in your property
Pitched roof extensions offer increased headspace, making them an ideal choice for smaller properties where ceiling height can transform the living space. Unlike flat roofs, which maintain a constant head height, pitched roofs provide an open and spacious feel. Consider a pitched roof extension with skylights to create an airy and inviting atmosphere.
Disadvantages of pitched roofs
The cost of a pitched roof installation typically begins at approximately £40,000 and may reach as high as £80,000, contingent upon factors such as the extension's size, the materials utilized, the installed pitched roof lights, and any supplementary expenses related to interior features and finishes.
